READER SOCS X GREASER DABI- IM -yes pls omfg - 💫
𝙂𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙒𝙞𝙣𝙙
a/n: flashback in italics!
Warning: brief fight (rumble) scene, one (1) mention of homophobia, 1960s society
Words: 1.3k
The outskirts of the East rest on jagged roads and blend into smooth pavement, that of which belongs to the West. There’s nothing like it, a clear outline that separates the fortunate from the unfortunate, rich from poor, privileged from oppressed. The only grey area is a Drive-In. It sells the best popcorn you’ve ever tasted, with butter that melts right on your tongue.
In the West, Socs litter every corner. Whether they’re walking their dogs or going after an ice cream truck, you can expect to see people with well-clipped hair and ironed clothing. The sickeningly green grass was always trimmed, and it seemed that they were always attending parties. It never mattered, because their parents were the ones giving them enough money to swing by in school without even trying. They were all fast cars and dirty mouths, anyway. But you’d never say that out loud, they were your friends. And you were a part of the group too.
“Tuff,” Dabi whistles, watching his little brother-Shouto- wheel in a shiny car. He’s stripped of his leather jacket, instead it’s sitting in his hand. The car was a Mustang, all silver and an engine that revved a great amount of noise. They were getting pretty popular, but there was no way it was their replacement car. Too expensive, and Greasers didn’t go around owning cars anymore. “Who's is it?”
The boy shrugs, patting the car with a heavy hand before popping the hood and throwing a towel in Dabi’s general direction. The older makes a face, twisting his eyebrows and shifting his weight from one foot to the other, clearly waiting for an actual response. Sometimes he curses Shouto for picking up on his own habits. “Clean looking man came by, he looked scared. Then he asked if I knew how to fix cars. I said I didn’t, but I know someone who does. He gave me a card.”
“You go around telling my whereabouts to a nobody and expect me to do it?”
“He’s not a nobody, he looked very important.”
“Even worse, a Socs.” Dabi grunts. His little brother was always so neutral, if the kid knew how to be a little more intimidating he wouldn’t be dragged into so much of his shit.
”He offered a lot.”
And that’s enough to get the scarred man moving.
After all the partying, greasy food was the best way to soak up the alcohol in your system (or so you’ve been told). The Drive-In was the best place for that, and you got to see a good movie during it too. The uncomfortable back and forth movement of your best friend's car is almost unbearable as your friend ‘gets some.’ You try not to let it bother you, instead munching on your popcorn and crossing your legs on the hood of the car as it moves.
Not everyone is sitting in their cars, and since the Drive-In was the only area both Socs and Greasers stayed, there were a few motorcycles tied to metal poles. You subconsciously wondered what it would be like to ride one. You nearly jump out of your skin when an arm wraps around your shoulders, and you’re grateful for the dim lighting; parking so far in the back.
Your boyfriend, all scars, dark hair and sharp canines looks so smug as you playfully push him away. He settles on the hood of the car, almost hyper aware of how he shouldn’t be sitting on a Socs’ car, and grabs a handful of popcorn, “What’d I miss?”
“Just about the whole thing.” You try not to frown, you really do, but you only get to see him once a week, twice if you really begged hard enough. Your schedules were completely different, and no one could know you were together anyway. The only dates you’ve ever had were on his rooftop or driving around the outskirts of the East.
You met Dabi when he was getting jumped by a subgroup of Socs, he was hunched over and gripping a baseball bat while he got his stomach kicked in. You considered begging them to stop, almost risked your own life and thought about beating them up yourself, but you couldn’t risk your status. When the group left you said you’d stay behind, making up the excuse to ‘be sure the hood wouldn’t snitch,’ but you really just wanted to make sure they didn’t kill the poor guy. It was an unfair fight. Five against one.
“They really did a number on you, huh?” You offered your hand, wrapping one around his shoulders before he shrugs you off. He didn’t accept your support, instead pushing himself off his knees with the help of his baseball bat. You didn’t notice till later, but it had blood on it.
“You boozed-up or somethin’? Better get goin’ ‘fore they get on your ass too.” You could tell he was holding in his groans, and he looked just about ready to collapse. His leather jacket slung off his shoulder, and there was a rip in the arm.
“They?” You said instead of mentioning the obvious pain he was in, patting down your slacks. They were speckled with dirt.
“The Fuzz,” He shrugged, and there was a loud crack resounding from his shoulders. His face contorted into a mixture of a grimace and anger, and he turned to leave. “Wouldn’t want a rich, handsome fella like you involved with someone like me, would you?”
“Wait!” You stepped forward, mentally cursing yourself for being so loud. You lowered your voice, and instead gently grabbed the hem on the leather clothing. He didn’t turn to meet your gaze, he simply tilted his head to the side. “Your jacket.”
“Pretty tuff, ain’t it?” There was pride dripping from his voice, and under the grime, blood, and deepest shadows, you could tell he was incredibly handsome.
“It’s ripped.”
“Oh, really?” His voice was flat, and the emotion vanished. He still wasn’t fully facing you, but he looked as if he was ready to scram at any moment. You wished you could have met under different circumstances.
“I could fix it for you…?”
“Right now I go by Dabi. I’m sure you could, prince charming.”
“Don’t be like that,” Dabi’s gaze shifts from the large projected screen and back to you, his eyes lidded and a lazy smile on his face. You absentmindedly trace the cross stitch you used to fix his jacket the night you met. If there was one thing you hated about Dabi, it was the way he was so nonchalant. You met his brother once (and by accident), and it seemed to be some sort of familial attitude. It was hard to get under his skin, and his ability to mask emotion until it popped was intimidating. You saw it when people called you slurs, you saw it when he mentioned his father, and you saw it when you left to go home with your friends. Where your Sun set his had just risen, and you wished you could be on the same side of the world. “Always got things to do, hun.”
There’s humor lacing his voice, and you ignore the suggestive bite to his lap as you settle into your spot next to him, hesitating before you give him a gentle kiss on the cheek. His staples pull against his skin. One day you’ll ask how he got them, but for now you’d rather just admire them in their beauty. You know that after this you’ll go back into your separate lives, pretend to like other people just for the approval of your family, and go to bed thinking of the Greaser with a sharp tongue and sweet nicknames.
“Goin’ sweet on me, sugar?” He teases, shrugging himself out of his signature leather jacket and placing it over your shoulders. Dabi was different from any other person you’ve ever met. He didn’t judge you, not for the way you looked or dressed, not for who you liked either. Hell, maybe you even loved him!
And although you don’t have all the time in the world, you have tonight. And that might just be enough.

Somewhere Only We Know
Fandom- The Outsiders (Johnny Cade x Ponyboy Curtis.)
Notes- Fluff. Nobody requested this? I just oddly want to write for The Outsiders? I wrote this to a cover of Somewhere Only We Know by Max Schneider and Elizabeth Gillies. It's on YouTube and you all should give it a listen.
If you all want to, send me some questions to my ask box, cause I’m a bit bored.
~~~
   The only forest in Tulsa was abandoned. It always had been, even though it was connected to the park. Johnny never understood that. Why play on a rotting set of swings when you could explore a forest? Why pretend the slide takes you to another dimension when you could imagine you were on a quest through the forest? Johnny wrote it off as parents being too overprotective to let their kids go wondering into a set of woods, but he didn't really have that problem. If anything, he was more of an orphan than anything else. He'd basically raised himself- not counting Mr. and Mrs. Curtis taking him in.
   Johnny had been going into the park's little forest for years. It was quiet and clean- no people there to litter or to muck up the area. Johnny could see animals if he walked softly. He'd seen the same rabbit- it was the same one as far as he could tell- for two years. He liked to call it Henry. Ronald Henrique Rabbit.
   When Johnny was younger, before he really trusted the Curtis family, he would go to the same spot in the woods to hide from his parents. Nobody ever followed him and he wasn't sure anyone knew he'd ever been there.
   "Johnny, where are we going?" Pony tugged on the Cade boy's hand. Johnny was leading him to his favorite spot. His spot. Johnny had already been in the woods once today to set up the surprise. Johnny had decided that he was going to surprise Ponyboy with a date. They'd been together for three months and were taking it slow, but Johnny decided it was time for this milestone. They'd been on plenty of dates before, but this one was going to be special. For both of them.
   "It's a surprise."
   "That tells me nothing." Pony laughed softly, causing a smile to spread over Johnny's face. He looked back at his boyfriend. Pony was looking at the trees hovering above them- their branches dangling like welcoming arms. A soft breeze was making the leaves dance and sway to the bird song serenading throughout the thicket of trees.
   "It wasn't supposed to. Hold on," Johnny stopped walking and turned to Ponyboy. There was a tree laying across the path. It was barely a foot high from the ground. Either way, Johnny scooped Pony up in his arms and carefully walked over the fallen tree. Pony smacked his chest gently, grumbling and giggling.
   "That was so unnecessary. I could have rolled over it and never left the ground!" Pony's cheeks and ears were pink and he was trying to fight back his smile. Johnny kissed his cheek, which caused him to go red instead. Johnny gently put him on the ground and Pony grabbed his hand again. Johnny led them forward again, listening to Pony talk about some books he'd read lately. 
   He'd been reading to Johnny since they gotten together. They had finished Gone With The Wind a few days ago. Johnny was happy with it and Pony was willing to read him more. Johnny had bought a book called Taming the Star Runner after he heard Pony talking about it. He had no idea what it was about, but he would listen to Pony read a newspaper if that's all he had. It was a calming thing, listening to Ponyboy read line after line. Johnny wasn't sure he'd ever heard Pony mispronounce a word or stutter through a sentence. His reading was perfect and Johnny loved it.
   "We're almost there. Close your eyes, okay?" Johnny stood behind the taller boy and put his hands over his eyes. Pony laughed again as Johnny started walking him forward. All they had to do was walk on the other side of a giant tree and they would be there. Johnny turned the corner slowly, trying to make sure he didn't throw Ponyboy of balance. Johnny kissed his boyfriend's shoulder before taking his hands off his eyes.
   "Johnny... wow."
   Johnny had pinned a sheet to a tree, causing it to fall open and stretch towards some rocks that he'd strategically placed. He had a thick blanket laid out on the ground and a picnic basket sitting against the base of the tree. It had PB & J sandwiches and Coca Cola cans inside. There were 3Musketeers in there- since they were Pony's favorite candy bar. The best part hung between three trees and were shining brightly in the setting sun. They were Christmas lights that Johnny had found. They ran on batteries, which was the reason Johnny had spares in his backpack.
   "Do you like it?" Johnny was looking at the look of amazement on Pony's face. His green eyes had the white lights reflecting in them, making his them bright and starry. Pony didn't say anything or nod his head- he just grabbed Johnny's face and kissed him rapidly.
   "It's amazing. What's in the basket? I'm starving." Pony plopped down on the blanket and propped himself up on the pillows that rested at the base of the tree. It was a thick tree, with a trunk that had to at least be six feet wide. Johnny didn't know what kind of tree it was, but he was happy it was there. He'd always come and sit next to it when he'd come into the woods alone. It was a comfort tree that grew with him.
   Pony dug into the basket, his smile growing with every item he pulled out of it. Johnny was grinning while looking at the ground. Pony was eating the sandwich and licking his lips as he went. They were both sitting cross legged and almost felt like little kids.
   The two boys ate in a comfortable silence. They did this most of the time, which was really nice. Johnny never got the same silence with any other member of the gang. Dallas and Darry came close, but neither made him feel as safe as Ponyboy. He really enjoyed Ponyboy's presence and the relationship they had begun to build with one another.
   Johnny wanted the relationship to expand more, hence the surprise date. He really wanted to have a future with Ponyboy. Whether as a boyfriend or not. He didn't think he could live without Pony in his life. He was the best company he'd ever had.
   "I love you, Ponyboy."
   The words broke the silence. Neither of them had ever said that to each other before, not since they were kids and thought that was something you said to anyone. Back before they really knew the feeling that came with those words.
   Ponyboy looked away from the sky and turned his gaze on the teen across from him. Pony's green eyes were wide and his reddish brown hair fell into his face. Johnny wasn't worried about what Pony was going to say back. If they were moving too fast- if that was too fast or too much- then Ponyboy would tell him and he wouldn't say anything again, at least not until Pony was ready to say it. Either way, it was out in the open and Johnny didn't have any regrets.
   "I love you too, Johnny Cake."
   Fuck. Johnny's brain stopped for a second and his braincells ground to a stop. For some reason, he didn't think to prepare if Ponyboy said it back. He was preparing for a negative reaction. For the worse, but here the youngest Curtis brother was- causing Johnny's heart to swell.
   Pony tugged Johnny in for a kiss. It was sweet and gentle, which seemed to jumpstart Johnny's brain. He tugged the book out from underneath the edge of the blanket. He slid it into his boyfriend's lap, which caused Pony to pull away in surprise. He picked the book up and read the title. Another award winning smile spread across his face. The birds chittered above their heads. He thought they looked like mockingbirds, which gave him an idea for their next book.
   "I take this as a hint to read to you?" Pony wiggled the book in his hands, his eyes gleaming and the freckles that laid across his nose looking like stars. Johnny wrinkled his nose up and kissed his boyfriend again. "Alright then. Get comfy."
   Pony lifted his body up with his arms and moved against the tree trunk. Johnny waited until his boyfriend was positioned before he laid his head on his lap. Pony rolled his eyes and smiled. He propped the book up Johnny's chest, causing his boyfriend to smile. Pony cleared his throat and opened the book.
   "Taming the Star Runner by S.E. Hinton."
   Johnny didn't think his heart would ever stop beating if he was with Pony. After all, he loves him.

Can Dredd find a solution to save the now-indispensable aliens from the angry mobs? A perfect mix of satire and social commentary!
LIFE ON THE MOON HC
Robert Grossman (A/CVR) Robert Grossman
From an artist who reveled in illustrating “the un-illustratable,” a historical graphic novel based on the “Great Moon Hoax,” the most successful newspaper hoax ever. In 1835, New York newspaper The Sun published a series of six articles declaring the discovery of life-and even civilization–on the Moon, which the paper attributed to the famous contemporary astronomer Sir John Herschel. According to The Sun, the lunar inhabitants included unicorns, bison, bipedal tail-less beavers, and intelligent humanoids with bat-like wings.
Life on the Moon is a full-length graphic novel capturing this mythical world. Creator Robert Grossman said the book is set in a time when “many of the signal achievements of the 19th Century still lay well in the future, Andrew Jackson was president, the steamboat was the summit of technology, and news traveled slowly.” The unfettered novel includes real historical figures such as P.T. Barnum, Jean Jacques Audubon, Lorenzo Da Ponte, Charles Goodyear, and Edgar Allan Poe.
